Pressurized LNG is a new low-cost way to move gas
Pressurized-Liquefied Natural Gas (P-LNG)
A new low-cost way to transport Natural Gas and other gaseous fluids
200-year old chemistry – a reverse process of the steam boiler
Simple process to create P-LNG:
• Compress natural gas to 9 MPa (90 Bar or 1300 psi)
• Dehydrate (remove water), then chill to –50 C
• Gas is 100% liquefied. Same density as LNG
• Complex and expensive cryogenics not required
• Stripping of nitrogen, CO2, or NGLs not required
Transportation using large type-4 tanks:
• Three tanks nested inside a 40-ft shipping container
• Safely transport natural gas using intermodal infrastructure
• Trucks, trains, boats, and small container ships
• Natural Gas is stored & transported in a two-phase state:
• Pressurized-Liquefied Natural Gas (P-LNG)
• P-LNG cost less to transport than conventional LNG
Please note, I am *not* involved in any way with CanaGas.
I am not selling anything, I don’t get any commission.
I simply find P-LNG technically interesting, and decided to share it in my Oil & Gas network here, to see if other people are interested as well.
Also please note, I make no claims for its veracity, but hope to spur questions about this technique for P-LNG.
PDF of basic overview is attached.
Please feel free to contact the author (Steve Campbell) for more detailed information, which covers much more data than the general non-technical bullet point overview here.
And final disclaimer … this is *not* one of my absurd, surreal posts. This is actual Science.
Yes, I know, it can be hard to tell sometimes, due to my penchant for gently nudging Critical Thinking in readers here, using humor.
My standard thinking process for considering new data still applies here:
Question everyone. Question everything. Question me.
